Chapter 1189 Platinum

At the same time.

The team led by Evelyn was still following behind the Xuanhui Dragon, hundreds of meters away.

After half a day of tracking, the straight-line distance between them and the Golden Country they had discovered before was more than 15 kilometers.

The terrain in the earth veins was complex, with forks and branches everywhere, like a spider web maze. Calculated from the walking distance, the actual distance might be doubled.

Even with the physical fitness of the hunters, they were a little tired at this time.

As the captain, Evelyn was also a little embarrassed at this time.

Humans could not compete with ancient dragons in physical fitness. Some large ancient dragons could even move for several months without stopping.

Should they continue tracking or stop to rest?

While she was struggling, the vibration coming from the ground gradually slowed down and finally stopped completely.

Has it reached its destination?

Evelyn raised her hand and made a "stop" gesture, and the whole team immediately stopped moving forward.

Feddy, who usually spoke very little, looked at Evelyn and did not speak, but the meaning was very clear, asking her to make a decision.

The other two hunters in the team, the spearman Dono and the bowman Wicca, also looked at her as the leader.

Evelyn pondered for a moment and whispered, "Ant, approach carefully, observe, and be careful to hide."

"I understand, meow!"

As a Deter hunting cat from the insect cage tribe, stealth is Ant's forte. It landed on all fours and jumped out silently.

The hunters took the time to eat, rest, and relax their muscles.

Nearly a quarter of an hour later, when several people couldn't help but worry, Ant finally came back.

It approached at a gallop, as if it had discovered some big secret, and was very excited.

Just as it was about to meow, Ferdie quickly gestured to it, reminding it to pay attention to the volume.

The ant scratched his furry ears and said in a quick and light tone: "Its whole body is glowing and hot meow, the gold has melted into water meow!

And it seems to be able to control the movement of the water-like gold meow, it sticks the gold on the ground and stones, and makes some pillar-like things meow!"

The ant's common language is fluent, but it only uses the most common words. Fortunately, its expression is clear enough.

Evelyn frowned, "It seems that Ansir and the others guessed it right. Xuanhuilong will melt the gold and wrap it around its body, and then move it to other places.

What did it do after unloading the gold?"

"It became bald and black, a little ugly meow, and then it continued to move forward meow, the hole in front was also full of gold meow!

It melted some more gold and wrapped it around its body meow, just like putting on clothes meow."

"It seems that there is indeed more than one golden country." Ferdie responded.

"Is it moving?" Evelyn rubbed the ant's head as a compliment, "Let's wait here for another ten minutes until it moves away.

Then continue forward and go into this golden land to take a look.

Since the Xuanhuilong is moving the gold from the previous place to here, it means that this place is more suitable for its survival, or in other words, there is something else here."

"Like ruins?" Bowhunter Wicca narrowed her eyes.

"Well, it's possible."

The hunters continued to rest in place, waiting for the Xuanhuilong to move away while recovering their strength.

When they felt that it was about right, Evelyn stood up, "Let's go, let's continue forward, Dono leads the way, Wicca pays attention to the upper back, and Ferdie and I are on the flank, be careful."

The group started to move again.

Like the golden land they found before, the ground and rock walls here are also covered with gold.

The gold in some places has not completely solidified and is emitting amazing heat. The hunters carefully avoided these areas that can easily burn people.

Enter this "second" golden land.

Their original intention was to continue to follow the guidance of the guide insects and track the previous Huilong.

But after entering the Golden Country, a scene that shocked them happened.

The guide insects flying in the air dispersed and flew in several directions.

"What is this?!" Bow Hunter Wicca opened her eyes wide.

The calm and steady spearman Dono, who never opened his mask along the way, said in a muffled voice: "There may be more than one Huilong living here."

"Ancient dragons living in groups, this is really." Evelyn took a deep breath, "Everyone, I don't need to remind you anymore, right? Everyone, please be alert."

"Which road should we choose?" Ferdy asked his wife.

Evelyn glanced at the forked light paths in the air and randomly chose one, "It doesn't matter, let's take this one."

"Yeah."

The hunters continued to move forward along that light path.

Ten minutes later, they arrived at a huge cave entrance that was surprisingly spacious. The diameter of the cave entrance was more than 50 meters. The melted and solidified gold was in the shape of a wire, hanging down from the top of the cave entrance.

It formed a large and gorgeous curtain.

Evelyn walked to the edge of the cave entrance and half squatted.

An area that was not completely covered by gold revealed a flat ground that did not seem to be formed naturally.

Her fingers brushed across a flat seam on the ground that was so fine and tight that it was unbelievable, but it did exist, and Evelyn smiled.

This was undoubtedly a man-made object. They found an ancient relic.

"I think we should record the location, bring the information back, and join other teams to make full preparations before entering the ruins to explore." Spear Master Dono said in a calm voice.

Hunting bowmaster Wicca put her finger on her chin, "Let's not go too deep. A simple exploration should be fine, right? At least we should roughly confirm the scale of this ruins.

We can only see a few bricks here, and we can't judge anything else. Don't look back and find that there are only these bricks here."

What the two said makes sense. Dono is the type who is cautious to the end, and Wicca's statement is more in line with the habits of most hunters.

Evelyn hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to go in and take a look.

Dono did not continue to object, nodded, and entered first.

The cave entrance was huge, and the situation of narrow space inside did not appear.

They came to a larger space.

It was as spacious as a square, with square sides and a regular semicircular dome on the top, which was also covered with gold, and no decorations could be seen.

But it can be basically confirmed that this is a place similar to a temple.

This kind of ruins is of little significance to hunters. After all, ancient people would not bury weapons in the main hall.

But for scholars, this is a target with extremely high research value, and there is a chance to discover important cultural relics that pass on ancient information, such as murals and sculptures.

After roughly confirming the scale of the ruins, Evelyn said, "It's almost done, let's get ready to leave."

Just then, several guide insects emitting a faint blue light flew past them and landed in the center of the hall, on a vaguely shaped, half-buried statue.

The hunters' vigilance immediately reached the highest level, and they retreated cautiously.

A black creature, no more than four or five meters long, came out from behind the statue and tilted its head to look at them.

Looking at its lizard-like body, the hunters had the same idea in their minds.

-Is this an unknown species of tooth dragon?

Only the ant was stunned, and said in a trembling voice: "This looks like the appearance of the Xuanhuilong after taking off the gold, meow, can it be the cub of the Xuanhuilong meow?"

The hunters' hearts beat a few times, and their pupils contracted involuntarily.

Evelin squeezed out a sentence from her throat, "Don't make a sound, retreat, and leave."

Fortunately, the creature suspected to be the cub of the Xuanhuilong did not approach, but just looked at it curiously.

Just as they were about to exit the ruins hall, several strange-faced people wearing golden masks emerged from nowhere and shouted shrilly as if to warn.

The ground began to shake.

The sleeping "statue" moved, and the large piece of gold wrapped around it fell off, revealing a touch of platinum underneath.

I suddenly realized that the rhythm of the recent chapters has been a bit slow, and I fell into deep thought. . .
